SEATTLE, Aug. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- L & L Energy, Inc., (Nasdaq: LLEN) ("L&L" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based company operating coal businesses in China, announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011. The Company filed its Form 10-K posting record annual revenue, which doubled to $224 million from its previous fiscal year.

Fiscal Year 2011 Financial Results

• Revenues generated in fiscal year 2011 increased to approximately $224 million up from $109 million, in 2010.
• Income from continued operations for fiscal year 2011 increased to approximately $37 million compared to $31 million in 2010.
• Fully diluted earnings per share from continued operations for fiscal year 2011 were approximately $1.21.

Dickson Lee, Chairman CEO of L & L, commented: "I am pleased to report that our revenues experienced strong growth, primarily attributable to the execution of our organic expansion plans.  In April of 2011, the last month of the fourth quarter, we cooperated with local authorities to slow down mining production to enforce safety standards, which was the primary reason we missed our guidance on net income for this fiscal year. Our results for this fiscal year continue to illustrate our ability to increase the production capacity of our existing operations, conduct accretive acquisitions, such as the DaPing mine, as well as our flexibility to work under increasing government safety requests."

Lee also commented," As the Guizhou coal mining consolidation has started in April, L & L is ready to take on these opportunities and challenges to demonstrate our leadership and prowess in becoming a leader in the China coal industry."
